There is a substantial cairn on the summit which gives the hill its name.
Carran is the 274th highest place in Ireland.Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/262/?PHPSESSID=dedc55qf1htp3l1su6irs49o51

If you are approaching from the west (road south of Knockanuha) please do not park on the corner at W04199 68795G (junction of road and track), the farmer(who likes walkers) has told me that people park there and delivery trucks can't get up the road and on occasion he's had to follow walkers up the mountain to get the keys to move their car: please park in the farm yard of the first little cottage.
Carran itself is best approached from the south west, south (Carran South) or North East (along the ridge). It offers good views in most directions and is certainly a wild and remote spot to enjoy a well earned sambo and a cuppa. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/262/comment/14933/
